No, don't worry man, I don't mind being asked legitimate questions. :) I'm going to say that I'm not sure I can answer this, though, because I've only been sexually attracted to one person, and that's not really much of a sample size. I was romantically attracted to both his looks and personality before we started dating, but didn't become sexually attracted to him until we'd been together a few months. Sorry about the anecdote, but I think what I'm trying to say is: the reason I identify as demisexual is that I apparently do only experience sexual attraction under the limited circumstances described by demisexuality. So the only factor in my sexual attraction I can point to with certainty is "being in a romantic relationship with someone for a few months".

Did any of that answer your questions? Sorry, I'm kind of tired. ._.;;

nah i think i get it. everybody has different experiences in terms of sexual attraction, but it becomes much more confusing (to me, anyway) when you consider that sexual attraction is also a concept sort of invented en masse, and people who study it extensively have only done so in terms of other categories--like the ones this op thinks of as legitimate, which are actually pretty restrictive considering the fact that sexual identity as a concept is relatively new. and some of the same people who cite the kinsey scale will be just as quick to defend how every category are absolutes exclusive of all the others! wacky.

when i think of it as attraction to looks, attraction to personality, and sexual attraction all being things that are separate but have some influence upon eachother then it makes more sense. i think i was getting hung up on the word 'attraction' in general.

so yeah, anecdotes have value. most of this shit started with anecdotes anyway.
